[edit] Biography
The Assasin was born in 500BA (Before Ages). He was born to two workers, Maria and Joe. When the Immortals came to Lunica, The Assassin decided to instead travel to Gielinor, and he helped the first human settlers. He lived in the area that would come to be known as Varrock. Angeror set himself down onto Gielinor, destroying the newly formed landscape. The Assassin knew that it was his destiney to destroy this creature, and after battling with him Angeror swore that one day, he would kill The Assassin.
The Assassin left his sheltered life and walked around Gielinor for many years, passing into legend. Seeing The Assassin was seen as an omen, although there were mixed views on whether it was a good one. When the first stirrings of Zarosian rebellion began to appear, The Assassin did all he could to stop Zamorak taking over. He was stopped, however, by a venge-ful Angeror, who got away just after taking Zaros's soul into Hell.
The Assassin was unhappy at the beginning of the God Wars. He was upset that this world's Gods had decided to fight each other. Nevertheless, he was a key fighter for Saradomin, and was, beknownst to them, in most of the major battles. It is said that he fought both sides, striving to keep balance. Little evidence exists from this time, so details of his exact movements are scarce, but it is known that he went around the wildnerness, comforting survivors and telling tales of his adventures. He made a hood, and adopted the alias of "The Assassin", becoming something of a dark knight.
In the dawn of the Fourth Age, The Assassin visited his brother in Ardougne and met a confused John Dixon. They both became friends due to their similar lives (both having come from times of great war and out-living their friends). The Assassin knew that he should not have revealed so much, and so altered John's memories of The Assassin and then used some of his own energies to send him to the 5th Age. His brother exiled by the Immortals to the desert (unknown to Assassin), he went again to Varrock to defend against the Runecrafting Crusades.
After the crusades, Assassin dug a cave under Varrock. Here he lived, apart from the world. Although he often wandered, he always had a place to call home. While Assassin was wandering Varrock one day, he met and joined a group of spies and robbers, mainly to add some adventure to his life. He trained his fighting skills, increased his theivery and distraction tactics as well as learning to use phycology against his enemies. He knew thst one day, Angeror would be back.
After a dangerous robbery, he decided to leave the group. Since asking to leave was not an option, he betrayed them to the authorities. The police, who saw The Assassin as a trouble-maker, instead hunted him down, and he escaped from public view. This was not a great hinderence, but a significant one nonetheless.
After hearing that John Dixon was fighting in The Battle of Misthain, The Assassin attended, not able to interfere. When he saw John's leader, Albus Malfoy, killed by the Cookie Monster. he locked away his memories and replaced them with a more sheltered, human existance.
Angeror , who The Assassin had not removed from his mind, returned to Gielinor and opened the Void, setting a soul army upon the world. The Assassin, still under his human guise, met up with John again in 180(5th) to find The Book of Shadows, the only thing that could stop Angeror from destroying the world. He,John, Prototype and a re-incarnated Malfoy followed a series of clues until they came to a riverside. When John was revealed to be Death and thus commited suicide to save the world, The Assassin took the Book of Shadows and gladly cursed Angeror into a mental form. He then sealed it into a small rift within the ground. He buryed the now limp corpses of John and Albus, then dismantled Prototype and walked off. He gave John an appropriate gravestone: The Angel Of Death. The appearance of Angeror had stirred events in his mind, but not enough.
The Assassin was severely depressed. He traveled to Varrock almost immediately after placing the little he had into his cave. He ransacked a public speech by King Roald about litter, and told them of John’s sacrifice and bravery, and then of the on-coming Strom that Angeror would pose. He was arrested, but escaped, and soon he had collected his things and travelled to Port Khazard. Within the day he had already become part of the Order. He never took training, but took the Dracomancer seal nonetheless. After rebuilding Prototype with upgrades, he went to fulfill his destiny and rid the world of the one thing that was causing so much chaos: Angeror.
The spirit of John Dixon was active, the Grim Reaper. The mortal Death was troubled, and when John went to him he swore to protect Assassin. With Grim and a reconstructed Prototype, they set off to find the 5 fabled Objects of Power and the one thing to kill Angeror - The Death Sabre. They first ventured to the Dracomancer stronghold, where he met Dargenath. Dargenath warned him that Death may betray him, and that the Spear of Life ( the object he was looking for ) was in the Cradle of Life within the Stronghold of Security. While there, he was ambushed, and then they used the Tele-pebble to escape. The next object was found on Trollheilm, where he fought Bandos. Along the way on this journey, he regained his memory, visibly changing his attitude. He knew what he had to do. After gaining and losing many members of the team, they finally found all parts for the sabre. Unfortunately, they were again ambushed by Angeror and his group, who had the Staff of Pain. Angeror took him to the future, where they had a mind battle. Angeror was accidentaly destroyed when he was impaled by the blade of sabre when The Assassin was throwing it away.
When Angeror had been killed, Assassin's fate had not yet fufilled. Apart from the fact that Angeror was not killed purposley, part of Angeror still remained. Thinking of the Alone Ones, The Assassin stole a Tanker from the Draconic Fleet, and went to hunt them down. He realised that they were already gone and then focused his efforts on the Consious, a creature that contained part of Angeror's soul. After a long hunt, The Assassin found that the Conscious had been captured by Torchwood.
The Tanker's engines failed and the team became shipwrecked on a remote Karamajian island. After setrtling down, they searched the island and met The Guardian, an older Immortal. They soon became great friends. Unfortunately, a member of the ZTI, Kingsley Emanuael, discovered them and took them on a long trek to see the leader. This journey was tedious, and they were ambushed by the Scarecrow, an embodiment of Angeror's soul.
[edit] Personality
The Assassin has a great sense of loneliness and guilt, and this heavily influences his decisions. While he outwardly insists that he strives for wholey good morality, he sometimes makes morally ambigious decisions if he believes them to give him an advantage. Despite his negative tendencides, he is extraordinarily protective of him friends, family and home, as well as loyal, trustworthy and gallient.
[edit] Immortal Power
The Assassin has the natural power of Persuasion. It allows him to, by verbal means, make a sane person do as he tells them to. This works on most organisms, but can be resisted by the strong minded. There is also the issue of The Assassin's morals, whether he believes it morally correct to influence someone's mind as he is able to.
The Assassin having Persuasion is based on irony. He has never had what he wanted in life despite having the power to gain it.
[edit] Trivia
- In another timeline, the Assassin kills Angeror successfully, but then he is quickly slain after by Halvinor.
- The Assassin's original power was going to be "Extraordinary Battle Skills".
